Rebuilding an alternator in Africa

Erik writes - "Bernard took me to see Stephan, an auto mechanic who is a master of fixing things with very few tools or supplies. Stephan is truly amazing, an example of an African who uses his ingenuity to solve problems that would seem insurmountable to others. One of the things Stephan has done, is figured out a way to rebuild alternators with limited materials." [via] - Link (photos and video).
